But as you get into this anime, assuming it doesn’t force you to drop it, each character starts to develop more, and you learn more about each characters inner-struggles and backstories.

Later the anime starts to get intense unlike any other slice of life series you’ll ever see.

For that reason, Toradora is a masterpiece in the “slice of life” department. And you should watch it.

3. Tamako Market

Made by Kyoto Animation, Tamako Market is an innocent slice of life about Tamako, the daughter of a business man who makes Mochi for a living.

Unlike an anime like Sakura Quest, Tamako Market doesn’t have a particular focus or plot. Other than highlighting the daily lifestyle of living in a small town, doing business, a fat talking bird, school and comedy.

But don’t be fooled by that. This is one of the most relaxing anime shows that will put you at ease.

And you also don’t have to think too much about what you’re watching… Because it’s that chilled and simple.
